Clean the portobello mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and slice the mushroom caps into 1/2 inch thick strips resembling fries.
Set up a dredging station. Place the flour in one shallow bowl. Beat the eggs in a second shallow bowl. Mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a third shallow bowl.
Coat each mushroom strip first in flour, ensuring all sides are lightly covered. Shake off any excess.
Dip the floured strips into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off.
Press the strips into the panko mixture, ensuring each strip is well coated. Use your hands to gently press the breadcrumbs onto the strips to make sure they adhere.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You want enough oil in the skillet to allow the mushroom fries to be half-submerged.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the mushroom strips in batches, avoiding overcrowding the skillet.
Fry the mushrooms for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve the mushroom fries warm, garnished with additional grated Parmesan cheese if desired, and enjoy!
